Chapter 36: Three Cannons Set the Universe, the Ace Bodyguard Cowered

"Alright."

Xu Gu was taken aback by Yang Xue's straightforwardness.

500,000 points, and she didn't even frown—truly worthy of being the Provincial City Yang Family's rich heiress!

He had thought that she would haggle over the price.

Now, as long as he kept this cash cow on a leash, wasn't he essentially getting as many Basic Amplifications worth a million points or even up to a thousand times more as he wanted?

"Elder, listen to me."

Yang Xue took a deep breath, reining in her excitement and agitation, turned on her Energy Shield to full power, and sprinted forward. She was about to crash into the Mutant in front, her expression anxious as she urgently said:

"Elder, most of Ren Dongyang's strong subordinates are battling the Ascension Sect's fighters.

"If you can just momentarily repel that group of Mutants ahead.

"We can make a successful escape!"

Although the Mutants blocking the passage ahead were powerful, being level 30 and in great numbers, if only she could repel them for a moment!

She could make her escape!

Flee from Ren Dongyang's underlings' pursuit!

However,

A gentle voice came through,

Which turned her face ashen with despair.

"No, stand there, don't move."

"What?"

Hearing this, Yang Xue's power core, which was like her heart, stopped abruptly, in utter disbelief.

The pursuers were getting closer; knowing her identity, Ren Dongyang had gone completely mad and mobilized all his underlings.

Numerous Mechanical Men swooped down, and under a barrage of Firepower, her Energy Shield was about to collapse.

The pack of Mutants ahead had noticed her success and were now pouncing towards them with blood-red eyes gleaming.

She and her elementary school classmate were at a dead-end.

Only by quickly repelling the group of Mutants blocking the exit would there be a way out for them.

And time waits for no one! They couldn't delay!

But now, Xu Gu was actually telling them to stay put.

"Damn it! Gamblers are just unreliable!"

"Wasting my opportunity!"

With a pale face, Yang Xue took out a small box-like accessory, held it in her hand, clenched her teeth, her body poised like a drawn bow, and, dragging her long-ago dispirited elementary school classmate, she dashed towards the group of Mutants like a spry mother cat, without looking back.

At that moment, she despised Xu Gu to her core.

Wishing she could tear Xu Gu into pieces!

He distracted her and delayed her time!

...

"Has she gone mad?"

"Even if the Xia City Mechanical Man Association Chairman came, he'd be done for against those Mutants!"

"Would rather feed herself to Mutants than fall into our hands?"

"In our hands, at worst, the Yang Family would have to bleed heavily in the end!"

"But it's better this way. Dying at the hands of Mutants, our boss will have one less competitor."

A wave of jeering laughter followed.

Seeing Yang Xue seemingly giving up resistance and rushing towards the group of Mutants they had deliberately trapped on the road, Ren Dongyang's men all burst into laughter.

Watching a provincial prodigy, the noble S-rank, heading towards destruction in desperation and resignation felt inexplicably satisfying.

"Careful she uses a disposable accessory! Chase her!"

Ren Dongyang's expression didn't change; the Yang Family was not weaker than his Ren Family! If they let Yang Xue escape, it would undoubtedly cause major trouble!

But killing Yang Xue or capturing her would bring enormous benefits.

However, a hint of confusion flitted across his brows, for some reason, he had an ominous premonition.

"It must be an illusion! I have everything under control!" Ren Dongyang nodded confidently, his lips curving up.

...

"Hmm?"

Xu Gu frowned slightly, surprised that Yang Xue hadn't listened to him.

Had she not investigated him?

Didn't she know what he had done when facing the assassination from the Ascension Sect?

...

Thump, thump, thump...

They were getting closer and closer to the Mutants.

"Don't do this!"

Yang Xue's elementary school classmate was so scared that she was in despair.

Even working for Ren Dongyang for free for a lifetime was better than dying!

At that thought, she suddenly pulled on Yang Xue and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to risk it!"

She knew that Yang Xue's identity was prestigious and she must have something to save her life.

But she didn't!

"Huh?"

Yang Xue's pupils dilated sharply. She had planned to use the precious disposable accessory, but because of her elementary school classmate's pulling, she failed to activate it in time.

Looking up again.

"Roar!"

Ferocious and ear-piercing, it was as if divine thunder had exploded.

A dozen or so monsters with grotesque faces and deformed bodies, exceedingly ugly and bloody, were all set to pounce right in front of her.

Only a few meters away from her.

It was too late to activate the one-time-use gears again.

Yang Xue's heart suddenly sank, utterly despairing.

Everything was over.

At this moment, for some reason, she suddenly felt a strong impulse to cry.

Why was everything so different from what she had expected?

"Boom!"

However,

just at that moment,

a loud explosion came from afar, like divine thunder bursting open, the sun exploding, with countless blinding sunlight and heat waves spreading in all directions.

Yang Xue witnessed a scene she would never forget in her lifetime.

Three suns appeared in the sky.

Not just her, but also the group of Mechanical Men who were chasing after Yang Xue, were all struck with amazement, their eyes wide in shock, standing there stupefied.

In their eyes, those fearsome mutants, powerful as nightmares, were so easily obliterated by the massive fireballs.

Instantly melted.

Turning into a pool of molten steel.

"No! I don't want to die!"

"Run!"

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?"

"Boss, save me!"

In the next instant, those pursuers still in shock and stupor, all turned pale, their bodies trembling, as if falling into an ice cave, quickly turning to flee in panic and terror, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

Because one of the three suns had destroyed the group of mutants.

The other two were swooping towards them.

Falling upon Ren Dongyang's henchmen and bodyguards.

"Gulp!"

Ren Dongyang, the S-rank of the Ren family, at this moment, faced with such an attack, actually swallowed in fear, his spirit trembling.

Not to mention saving someone now, even he himself was hard-pressed to escape!

"Run!"

His confidant, grabbing another's arm, started to flee.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Another two suns fell.

Dozens of Ren Dongyang's underlings who were chasing Yang Xue turned into molten steel.

"Bang!"

Ren Dongyang, who was too late to escape, was also hit by a shot.

However, with the help of his confidant and a powerful one-time-use gear, he ultimately managed to block it.

Still, he was thrown into disarray by the blast wave, severely injured.

"How dare you lay a hand on me! Just you wait! I'll make your life a living hell!"

Ren Dongyang was furious in his heart, wishing he could flay Xu Gu alive, yet at the same time he was in a wretched state, rolling and crawling away in a frantic escape.

On the side, he frenetically sent communications to his powerful group of bodyguards.

Telling them to send someone to pick him up!

He wanted revenge!

"Young Master Dongyang, we can talk about revenge later!"

"Executing the members of the Ascension Sect is at a critical juncture right now!"

"Moreover, the opponent's attack is very strong, even if we send three or five people, we might not necessarily be their match!"

"Why not just let them take those worthless captives."

As a result, all of Ren Dongyang's bodyguards sent him messages of rejection.

The commotion caused by those three shots just now could truly be said to have stunned the heavens and wept the spirits!

They did not want to provoke such forces!

They were here to earn money, not to risk their lives!

"What?" Ren Dongyang was incredibly shocked, terror and horror surging in his heart again.

The person was that powerful? Even his ace bodyguards didn't want to confront him?

Good thing he escaped in time!

Meanwhile,

on the other hand,

Yang Xue stood there stunned, and it took her several minutes to snap out of her shock, gazing in disbelief at the scene before her, where the mutants had turned into a pool of molten steel.

And the pursuers behind her who had also become molten steel.

"How is this possible!"

"How can he be so strong?"

"Is he really just Xu Gu's bodyguard?"

Yang Xue's heart was trembling, whipped into towering waves of shock and disbelief.

No wonder he had told her to stay where she was and not to run around.

He was afraid of accidentally harming her!

My god! How could a bodyguard of an S-rank commoner in Xia City be so powerful!
